Bumper extensions!!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Well I finally got some SS bumper extensions for my LS. I stumbled across a used bumper website and called the guy. I told him what I was looking for and he said he was sure he had them and asked that I call back in a couple of days. I gave him a few days and called him back. He said he found them and was willing to sell them for only $50 each, plus shipping. I said no problem, let me know how much shipping will be so I can pay for them. Well, at that point he kind of started dragging his feet. Turns out in the end he became hesitant to pull the extensions from good bumper covers, and I can't say I blame him. After a month of phone calls though, he finally packaged them up and sent them via FedEx. He felt guilty enough about putting me off that he shipped them free! So now I have the front and rear extensions, both in very good shape for only $100!

While I can't promise anyone else will get the same deal, check out his website (http://www.usedbumpersandheadlights.com/home)

Now my real dilemma: what color to go with? I thought I was going to go black, but now I'm thinking silver with a black stripe. Any thoughts?

My vote is to just match the silver on you car. Good buy by the way!

wow, thats an amazing deal/find, i've been searching for a pair of those myself. as for the color i'd stick with silver to, unless youve got a two tone color scheme going.

Yeah, silver it is. I thought of black only to complement the black already on the car, and also because I've got a nice pair of gloss black rockers and the front extension. But I think silver will look awesome. Thanks for the feedback!
